NEW: Alberta’s government has appointed itself the arbiter of who can reach which books at which age.
Make no mistake about it, this will only lead to more censorship.

Now would be a great time for the left in Canada to have a serious, coherent agenda that seeks a structural transformation of material life in service of workers, rather than, you know, keyboard warrior emoji shit and first-year undergrad epithets.

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

Dear the Media,
When something bad happens in an area under the executive branch's purview, and the White House goes "uh... a Black or gay person must've done it," you do not need to accept that. You're allowed to follow up in pursuit of the factual reason, not the bigoted excuse.

I really want to highlight this bc the assumption that only undergrads and maaaybe grad students might be trans is something that 1) leads to policies with large gaps for faculty/staff and 2) reinforces the lack of career advancement opportunities for a group already pushed out of academia

As long as my wrist holds, I'm going to try a 75k bike on Sunday. My partner has a 3h run, and I need something to do during that time since I'm too injured to run right now.
I say this currently 37 min into a 45 minute ride where I'm bored as hell. (Last Saturday was 50k for a similar reason).
